2014 Red Wine from Cote De Beaune

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: (90-92 points) The 2014 Auxey-Duresses 1er Cru comes from two blended parcels and sees around 20% new oak. It has more density than the village cru on the nose: blackberry and light stony scents, perhaps just a touch of...

Burghound, 93 points: This is even more prominently sauvage in character with its fresh if restrained nose of various dark berries along with plenty of earth and humus influences. Like all of these 2014s, the big-bodied flavors possess a sleek...

Vinous, 92 points: (ST89-92 points) Bright medium red with ruby highlights. Liqueur-like aromas of cherry, boysenberry, meaty plum, spices and smoky oak. A bit more red and less primary than the darker Clos de la Bousse d'Or. Suaver in...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: (WA90-92 points) The 2014 Volnay 1er Cru Santenots has a fragrant nose of blackcurrant pastilles and crushed violet -- all very tightly wound at the moment. The palate is compact on the entry but well defined with...

Vinous, 90 points: (90+) Good dark red Mellow aromas of raspberry and mocha complicated by hints of leather and game; distinctly less wild than the Beaune Grèves L'Enfant Jésus Juicy on entry, then youthfully tight and imploded but pure...
